How is being rich, or successful a man-repellent?

Money is a repellent of those that are vain and arrogant. They wear their money to falsify themselves.

Rarely will you see the wealthy not appealing.

Take away their wealth, few would see them appealing.

I had money and lost it all to.

Funny when you have money, you want more. You become greedy.

I was poor, made money sold a business. Bought a farm. Made even more money. Market crashed, economy prices go sky high. I end up with epilepsy, I can't sell my crop. Living off my savings and now back to being poor

Plus I'm looking for a job sucks. Because they made it harder then ever. Can't just pickup a newspaper anymore

Money can be used for good or ill and can bring a level of comfort, but it can never bring anything satisfying to one's spirit.

I don't think either are. A woman being either of those or the opposite wouldn't have bothered me in my single days.

Maybe its just you

Men often need to be needed

It's not necessarily a repellent, its useless because more often than not it is not to the benefit of the man. As the saying goes, your (than man's money) is our money and my (your) money is our money

You don’t want those “men” success repels.

Little boys, not men, get insecure if a woman is more successful than they are or makes more than they do.

Well, you don't understand.

I think there are most definitely some who would be blindsided at the prospect of a rich and 'successful' man. Yet successful is subjective, anyone can be successful in their own right. However, I know I'm put off (quite recently actually) at rich and successful people not per se but because their outward demeanor suggests their is nothing underneath. This doesn't apply to each individual but some were superficial a$$holes to put it bluntly. 😁
